Looks like Six Flags has decided to take a new route, albeit not new to Paramount with water parks. The Hurricane Harbor will be similar to the other ones Six Flags has built, but unlike some that charge separate admission, the one for Six Flags Great America will be included with theme park admission.

The new water park is being built in a parking lot site near the Southwest Territory section, home of the Raging Bull and Viper coasters.

My thoughts? Mixed, in that while Paramount has done it the same way for years, and made the parks highly visited. However, SFGAm is already a very busy, heavily visited park between Chicago and Milwaukee, and Six Flags is missing out on income that could have come very easily to them.

This park is totally amazing!!! The have a GREAT collection of coasters and rides!! Oh did I mention a free water park!!!
